2024 Solar Eclipse guests: "The property was a perfect place to experience the solar eclipse totality! The common area and kitchen provided space for my family to relax, stay connected by WiFi, cook and eat comfortably. Lots of light and the Adirondack decor throughout the house matched the feel of the outdoor space! We enjoyed the porch, fire pit (wood available) with chairs, the trail to the beaver pond and just the feeling of privacy. Our time here was “easy”. The owner has thought through how to make a visit to his place special in a rustic fashion!" 5 stars

"Perfect place for a ski trip with family and friends. The game room was great for the kids and the property was very close to Whiteface where we skied. The grilling area outside was sheltered and covered so grilling during a snowstorm was no problem! The driveway was also plowed several times, making it stress free to get to the slopes on a powder day. Great trip. Big enough for two families of 4 to spend a week together comfortably!" 5 stars

"Great property, well equipped, game room was a success with the kids. Gas fireplace to relax after a day of skiing. BBQ was also useful to make dinner. Close to Whiteface mountain. Hosts were quick to respond to inquiries. Will definitely book again!" 5 stars

"We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was a great location, within close proximity to Whiteface Mtn and the village of Lake Placid. The kids really enjoyed hiking in the woods, walking down by the river, and investigating the beaver dam. We were able to make a fire and enjoy the beautiful Adirondack scenery." 5 stars

"Easy to find off 9N, flat driveway, cleared of snow. we enjoyed playing ping pong and board games and watching TV one night. Bathroom is spacious with nice stall shower. Towels on beds decorated in shape of a bear...cute touch. Large dining table, and good amount of plates, flatware, glasses." 4 stars

"Our family of 5, plus 1 Goldendoodle enjoyed both the relaxing ambiance of the cabin and its location in the beautiful High Peaks area of the Adirondack Mountains. We all enjoyed several of the nearby dining establishments and ringing in the New Year at New Vida Preserve. Whiteface skiing and awesome winter hiking are close by to enjoy as well as Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. Matt was a great host and we all hope to make a return visit." 5 stars
